Miley Cyrus Has A New Song Called “Twerk”

Miley is "Twerking" this word into the dictionary!!!

http://www.buzzfeed.com/jenlewis/miley-cyrus-twerks-on-famous-paintings

"Twerking is a dance move that involves a person, usually a

 woman, shaking her hips in an up-and-down bouncing 

motion, causing the dancer to shake, "wobble" and "jiggle."

and the look on Will Smith and his family's faces: PRICELESS!

Miley's butt cheeks has been compared to a thanksgiving turkey's posterior!

 'The whole thing was cringe-worthy, but I feel bad for her. She is a mess. Someone needs to take care of her. Someone needs not to put her onstage and make a complete fool of herself.'

 she received the title of most tweeted-about VMA performance, receiving 4.5 million mentions in tweets sent out during the 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET airing.

The tweeting rate obliterated last year's VMA records, which peaked at just 98,300 tweets per minute.

 'That young lady, who is 20, is obviously deeply troubled, deeply disturbed, clearly has confidence issues and I don't think anybody should have put her onstage. That was disgusting and embarrassing.

 The Hannah Montana star, 20, stripped down to a flesh-colored latex bikini, simulated sex with a foam finger and grinded her behind in the crotch of 36-year-old Robin Thicke during his hit 'Blurred Lines.' Her outfit and crude moves mirrored the naked ladies who gyrate against the older, married singer in his video clip for the track.

 Robin felt violated, abused and misused, I know, I would have felt like that too!

Saung Sunda Sawargi Batam Restaurant

Tonight we are going to have an authentic Indonesian dinner

after many lunches and dinners in Chinese restaurants

 me and Evonne outside the thatched roof of the place

 so Indon looking, the restaurant, not us!

 what the interior looks like: busy, gaudy and headache inducing!!

 see what I mean? All those details are enough to make your head spin, if not your stomach churns!

 waiting to be served: plain water and slices of timun (cucumber) for stgarters

 look at my four slices of cucumber and one slice of tomato for the bunch of us! I say...

earlier, we posed in this outdoor dining hut...

 see the hut? we actually ate in one when we were in Bali

 this is the way the locals sit?

 the first dish arrived...a small piece of fish to be shared among all of us!

 then this backet was deposited in front of us....curious, we took one each, and that was it: ONE EACH!!

 no second helpings!

 we unrolled, unwrapped and looked at it

 it is actually our rice!

 wrapped in banana leave!

 we are to eat it with accompaniments on this brown waxed paper on top of a basket

 nice delicious rice though!

 next dish was this fried corn, that was so little, it was attacked and gone in seconds!

 nedt: kerabu taugeh, or taugeh mango salad

 fried tauhu and tempe

 four pieces of chicken!!!

 kangkong!

 fruit punch

 extra rice was in the basket..no more banana leaf wrapped rice..
we waited and waited for the next course...NO MORE!!! After all our elaborate Chinese 8 course meals, this was by far the cheapest, simplest and UNFULL meal...we were all still not full or satisfied!!! We were even desperate for fried omelette!!!

 the kitchen

 other parts of the dining hall

 outdoor dining hall

Our dinner ended so fast

and it was still bright outside so we took photos lor...

 lots of posing

 like as if I have never seen such a low dining table before

 I really haven't!
